Settlement Association

[Calthrop]

Hessle in the East Riding of Yorkshire is another settlement with industrial connections to chalk whiting.

Yet another kind of fish? -- sorry !

Hessle holds an annual, originating "way back" -- though in the case of this settlement; lapsed, then reinstated in recent times -- Feast: annual "fun day(s)": Hessle's one, taking place around Whitsuntide. There is a similar tradition in Horndon-on-the-Hill, Essex (between Tilbury and Basildon): its annual Feast and Fayre, at the last weekend in June.

Ramsden Bellhouse in Essex was also once administered by the Hundred of Barnstable.....sometimes known as the Hundred of Barstable.

 

[Calthrop]

According to Wiki, the River Crouch "flows through" Ramsden Bellhouse. The road atlas would seem to disagree, what with its showing the stream as running about a mile to the south of the settlement. In similar case would seem to be North Fambridge, Essex -- and its "oppo" south of the river, South Fambridge -- being removed from said noble watercourse, a matter of a mile or less: these settlements located some eight miles downriver, from Ramsden B.

It must be some years ago now, when the matter of a town central residential area and the actual town geographical land area of its actual land ownership surrounding the settlement was discussed on a different website to this.

Not getting cross, just asking; does the above, invalidate my post #34,413? If so, I'll strike it out.

[Calthrop]

Newcastle-upon-Tyne is a partner in a "friendship agreement" with assorted cities worldwide, with names "Newcastle" / "New Castle" / other languages' equivalents thereof -- one of which being: Neufchateau, departement of Vosges, France. Said French settlement has some note for its role in World War I; as does Poperinge, West Flanders, Belgium: which is twinned with Hythe, Kent.
